5 3. Calculate the contour interval for this map. I WA Contour interval: Chapter 2 - Basic Land Navigation Page 59

6 4. Draw a profile (similar to a line graph) of the land from point "a" to point "b." Elevation lines are marked in 100-foot increments. Hint: The elevation rises from the 100-foot contour line CONTOUR INTERVAL m 5. Use the map on the next page to identify the topographic feature inside the rectangles lettered A F with one ofthese characteristics: stream, hilltop, steep terrain, ridge, depression, and flat terrain.

10 Checking Your Understanding Answers to "Checking Your Understanding" can be found in Appendix B. 1. What are two common global coordinate systems used in the United States? 2. Latitude is a measure of how far or a point is from the_ Longitude is a measure of how far or a point is from the 3. On USGS topographic maps, UTM grid lines are marked every meters. 4. This is an abbreviated UTM coordinate: ^66E and ^'96N. How else could it be written? 5. Given this UTM position in Montana E N -the easting is located meters east of the 12th zone central meridian and the northing is located meters north of the 12th zone equator. Chapter 3 - Basic Land Navigation Page 79

12 Checking Your Understanding Answers to "Checking Your Understanding" can be found in Appendix B 1. List three examples of how you may use a compass on an incident. 2. Label the seven parts of a compass. f Chapter 4 - Basic Land Navigation Page 95

13 3. List five tips on how to obtain accurate compass readings. 4. How do you adjust your compass for declination? How do you know what the declination is for the area where you are working? 5. What are the two different ways to orient a compass? 6. The following exercises will improve your performance. Practice taking direct bearings and back bearings of various objects. Take a compass bearing of a distant object. Mark your starting location, walk to your object. Now take a back bearing and follow that bearing. How far off were you fi-om your starting point? Practice estimating slope using a clinometer. Page 96 Chapter 4 - Basic Land Navigation

14 Checking Your Understanding Answers to "Checking Your Understanding" can be found in Appendix B. 1. Practice storing and naming waypoints and tracks using a GPS receiver. 2. Determine how many waypoints your GPS receiver can store in the memory. 3. List three ways you can prevent making user mistakes when using a GPS receiver. 4. List three things that are important to do when you are taking a GPS receiver with you on an incident. 5. How should you name waypoints? Chapter 5 - Basic Land Navigation Page 109

15 Checking Your Understanding Answers to "Checking Your Understanding" can be found in Appendix B. 1. Practice orienting a map with topographic features and with a compass. Refer to the map on page 141 to answer questions Using a protractor or compass, what is the bearing between point A and B? 3. What is the latitude/longitude coordinate of point C? Latitude Longitude 1. What is the UTM coordinate ofpoint C? The UTM zone is 11, Easting Northing 2. Plot the following latitude/longitude coordinate on the map: Latitude 46''53' 47" Longitude ' 33" 3. Plot the following UTM coordinate on the map: Zone 11 Easting Northing Page 140 Chapter 6 - Basic Land Navigation

17 4. When estimating your own position using trianguiation, can you take bearings of a tree and large rock for drawing lines of position? 5. You are a field observer on an incident. You see a potential hot spot several miles away and you need to radio in the location but you do not know the hot spot's location. How can you find out the location of the hot spot using a compass? 6. Follow the directions in this chapter and determine your pace on level and sloping ground. 7. If your average pace is SVi feet and you walk 1700 paces on level ground, how many feet did you travel? 8. In general, list three situations that could lengthen or shorten your pace. 9. What are the four standards that you should incorporate when preparing field maps? 10. Why is determining the memory capacity of your GPS receiver important? 11. What information should be in your field notes? Page 142 Chapter 6 - Basic Land Navigation
